Marvel Snap's US removal follows the TikTok ban. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company and also the parent company of Second Dinner (Marvel Snap's developer), has pulled several games, seemingly in protest. The impact on Marvel Snap's availability remains uncertain.
The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians about a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. ByteDance's actions could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," effectively leveraging the ban to galvanize Marvel Snap's fanbase against the political decision.
The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance apps is likely to continue causing significant backlash among players. The political impact remains unclear, but the lack of prior warning from ByteDance suggests a deliberate strategy to incite fan outrage.
